Cannot access email

Cannot access email

I have a new ipad and could send, but not receive emails. I had not used my Roadrunner account in a good while. I thought the password I was trying was my last one, but it did not work. I tried to reset, but did ot remember the security question answer. After an online suggestion, I deleted that email account and was going to add it back to the new ipad. It still asked for the password and of course the security question when I tried to put roadrunner back on. I am totally frustrated. What do you recommend. I do want to use the roadrunner account.
